BIG Thanks to Matt for the heads up (and that I'd not fully stored all of my
set-up from the past weekend's contest even though it was all out/off of the
car).
With a quick set-up on the car to mount a three element beam atop a painter's
pole in the window of the door behind the driver and elevated to about 17 feet
and 175 Watts or so from my FT-897D and TE Systems Brick, I was able to catch
FM28 Delaware and FM17 & 18 in Virginia on 2 meters.
After two meters faded, I tried 6 meters with my vertical hamstick magmounted on
the roof of the Corolla, I worked about a dozen stations from NYC down the east
coast to SE Georgia and into Alabama.
All of this with what was a "Rover" (mobile) set-up.
Again, BIG Thanks to Matt!
73, JK
